Rain and drizzle of Viet Nam travel diary (10) ~ ~ ~ ~ Kung

15 February Saigon fine 34 degrees

Rain yesterday said today would also like to stroll down the Church and the post office, so I had to give up going to the Mekong Delta Trip plan.

Light rain in the morning breakfast is still a sandwich baguette and Mango Shake, but yesterday I saw the introduction of the LP, know the bin Cheng market next to a company called PHO 2000 shop, because Viet Nam and the United States to reestablish diplomatic relations after Clinton to Ho Chi Minh City to visit when in the store to eat rice, so now the shop hung up a lot when Clinton dining in the restaurant. So I want to go there to eat breakfast, go to the Church's way, so I just drank a glass of Banana Shake.

The place is next to the market in the bin, but I just didn't find it, it may be that the Sun is too large and Sun-I lost the patience to go slowly, in the end simply bin Cheng market.

Rain in there like a pair of sandals weighed, boss offer 170K, I used the words a counter-offer to Viet Nam, the boss is 100K easily agreed that I thought might be high. I didn't expect rain suddenly said: do not want to buy, so we left the market. Along the road to Le Loi, we go all the way to the Town Hall in front of the garden square, the Opera House. Finally there are blue sky and white clouds, photo effect is better than yesterday, so we took a lot to this tour photos. Later we went to the Cathedral, the blue sky and white clouds relieved of Red Church very spectacular beautiful, high spire in the blue sky painted graceful silhouette. Later we went to the post office, because today the Sun is drying, post office, feel more cool. I and rain here bought some postcard, sent to domestic friend so that he/they share our joy. Today I give you the phone booth and the she-like benches there took lots of photos. Later, I took the post of internal photos, and a foreigner came up and rain hitting, guess what people she is. Results of the foreigner is a first guess she is Korea, Faint ~

(Town Hall)

This time not very driven, therefore we at the post office where the consumption of a long time to leave.

Next we are going to the Bank (Cho Lon) of Chinatown. Because prior to the information that the big market there is a bus direct to Cho Lon, so we went back to the big market. I see there are many "guest first death" in the market is waiting for guests, we suggest you try to sit "guest first death" go Cho Lon. You agree that I will ask the price, ask price scare me, each person to 200K. So we gave up sit this idea of human tricycle. You want to buy before you see that pair of slippers, so we again came into the market, looking for several stalls, finally found the rain before the pair of shoes with bright. But she tried once felt uncomfortable, so finally didn't buy.

(Main post office)

Bus stop opposite the big market, in the interval a Tran Hung DAO's statue.

We went to the bus station, where scheduling is warmly told us to sit all the way to the car can go Cho Lon, fares whenever 3K. All car soon arrived, we got into the car and the car in addition to the two other is Viet Nam. The conductor of the money to one vote, with the domestic bus no different. Tran Hung Dao car along the straight Southwest Rd, the Chinese signs on each side of the road also gradually increased, most hotels, shops and hotels. Along the way, also see some pagoda, some are repairs, some have deserted, also see the "Temple" of this temple.

Raiders on Shao Temple and Cho Lon's introduction:

Matsu Temple (the temple, Chua Thien Hau) is Viet Nam in the oldest Chinese temple, built in 1760, a Chinese religion Centre here.

The door like a Zoo-like bird park in iron bar, such as walls, left a door, the door has a dedicated drive begging people-similar to the security of staff, said to be driven by those who are during the war, the shelling or chemicals harm caused to people with disabilities. Crossed the high threshold, the two sides of the corridor into the main hall, the main hall hanging over the decades ring Fragrant incense. Circular wall announced bar, with many pink small slip, top with Hardy calligraphy written contributions to the amount of the Buddhists, 50 000 and 100 000. In the surrounding of Matsu Temple also stop at many of the best selling soft drinks, fruit and snacks in the cart, and from time to time have picked two cylinders, peddled by hawkers, here even if non-holiday, is also very busy. Especially in the afternoon 3-, 4-point-class time, not a wide road, filled with home crowd, since many students stay beside cold drinks, snacks, gambling and other vendors around, pedestrians and vehicles, traffic jams.

Embankment Chinatown (Cho lon): embankment to the West, in Sai Kung, 5 district, the area is large, it is an integral part of the Ho Chi Minh City District.

Viet Nam is a multinational country, there are a total of 54 people, each person's ID card will be shown on Aboriginal and native, the Chinese were classified as Chinese, Cantonese, Chiu Chow, Hainan, Hakka, Fujian, and other areas. Bank is the largest Chinatown in Viet Nam, had nearly 50 million Chinese in this residence. North Vietnamese national unification, a large number of Chinese chose from Viet Nam, go somewhere else. For those substantial Chinese hold, since a social wealth, its bustling banks now became a bankrupt, decoration better shops, but many of the old. Many of the shops on both sides of the road is not opened, leaving insufficient hundreds of Chinese. Here, as found in the Pearl River Delta cities, full of character, Cantonese accent, Canton of porridge noodle stalls everywhere. Whether selling pastry, book stores, groceries, bedding, or open the Barber 's, almost all are signs in the text control, most shopkeepers are Cantonese, Guangdong people to this feel free to use in Cantonese and Chinese laHome-style.

I estimate rain on temples are not interested in those things and therefore did not require stopping down look.

But since in Vietnam since the way see the Viet Nam, therefore here see so many characters feel is very cordial. This side of the housing than Le Loi St there sent away, here are basically the old House.

The bus finally stopped at a supermarket next to the bus terminus.

Out of the station, we found on each side of the road is the fruit of hawker, variety, Dragon fruit, dried, banana, fruit, I even saw a mandarine Chinese past, but is not seen rain like Rambutan. This market is relatively messy, but that is marketplace is Viet Nam ordinary people have a true portrayal of life, so you took out the camera at the stall before the filming of her aunt. Shooting distance is very near, or know someone who was photographing would feel uncomfortable?

According to the guidelines on the map and a compass, we found not far away from the bus station of Penn's market (Cho Binh Tay), it is said that a house in the market are the two "lover" clandestine place.

I think of those cast by Brown Venetian blind light burning passion. It is hard to imagine such a love at first sight-love in the time came to sell goods footsteps sound messy kids crying sound motorcycle roar of Cho Lon area market small house, can reverberate out that two of them are unforgettable love life?

Since the morning not to eat, I'm feeling very hungry, going to go looking for a place to eat and then come back and visit the market.

According to the instructions on the LP, not far from the market there is a restaurant called Nam Long, so we decided to go to the home. But this time looking too bad, the restaurant is on the road edge, I even walked past. Because of the Chinese signs on Nan lung tea store, instead of writing nanlong hotel, so I walked two junctions. Later found wrong, ask passers-by that passed. It seems that the information on the LP is not very accurate Ah ~

Nam Long boss one is speaking Mandarin, very fluent, plus wall those familiar with Cantonese congee, meal menu, let me have the illusion of being in Guangzhou.

I and drizzle points out a bowl of soup powder, watching with domestic are almost, but taste or no domestic, but also to fill the stomach.

Fill in the full stomach, don't want to go around drizzle Binh Tay market, so I can't go, so the two of them decided to return to the hotel by car.

Go slowly walked back to the handsome, rain has bought some bananas and oranges, but I haven't found sell Rambutan.

Back to sit or all the way cars, prices unchanged or 3K/person, we could have in the way of Bui Vien's time to get off St, but we go on slowly, results for organs the door car went away.

Because we do not know the word "stop" in Viet Nam, therefore had to continue to sit on a Terminal, and then go back. Back on the road after a secondary school, students are out of school, I saw the crowds wearing AoDai white flying a bike of middle school girls.

Back to the hotel to rest, eat light rain to go hungry.

I already thought out, and tonight we are going to the House on the Internet are warmly recommended Viet Nam restaurant — Quan an Ngon (138 # Nam Ky Khoi Nghia) dinner, Raiders says in unity Palace main gate of the northeast corner. Because rain meal also want to visit parkson, so our time is not very much, so quickly. While we want to go out of the hotel door, my phone rang. The original two Shanghai friend to Saigon Pham Ngu Lao, St, said they settled after to have dinner with me. Rare with friends so far to meet, which Bowl Kung me down to eat with me, so I let the rain in the hotel lobby while surfing the Internet while waiting for me, I go to find friends come back and talk to her.

Friends hotel in Pham Ngu Lao No.173 of St, these two days we go to bin Cheng market has elapsed.

Find a friend, I took out my stay the hotel's business card, to the reception desk dial a phone, let the front desk help me through the rain, in the Hall. Through rain, I told her I'm probably position, let her live morning we walked across the road came up that is. Because of the fear of drizzle through the I do not see, so drop the phone for a while before I went to the roadside station, rain. The journey is not far away, but I have a heart Damocles waited some time before we see her leisurely.

I'm going with friends walking to dinner Quan an Ngon, passing those spots I can refer to them, so that tomorrow they will be able to directly go to the shopping spots without then slowly finding a place to do not beat around the Bush.

We walked along Pham Ngu Lao St came to shore called market, then go to Le Loi road, near Saigon Centra in Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Kou turned to the North, Ho Chi Minh Museum, came to the unified gongmenkou. I see there is no restaurant in the Northeast direction, think it strange that they asked in unified gongmenkou chat young men and women. They told me to go back to the Yellow House is. Since we came to the attention of the time I have been looking at the road side of the building, I have seen 130, but they told me to go back, so I guess the store should be opposite to the road, and while we walk to the street. Sure enough, walked no more far, found the famous Viet Nam restaurant — Quan an Ngon (138 # Nam Ky Khoi Nghia). Write strategy estimates a sense of direction, the direction it is unity Palace gate of South-East position.

There were attracted a mess, it was full of tourists from around the world,

There are many outside the local people, Viet Nam and there are many people waiting for a seat, this is the first time since the Vietnam encounter situations, gives me the feeling of being in Shanghai. And my least favorite thing is to eat also queued, so immediately heart from Italy, because the rain wait also go Bai Sheng, or quickly wrap up somewhere else. So I ask you, however we are not going to go, but rain is also very excited and ran to the door to take a full House of queued, so, I will honestly take a letter sitting in the front line.

Waited a long time before we have time we turn to the table, when I was very hungry, don't have the mind of the order, they are something I just eat what.

But here's a game and not imagined so good, maybe they didn't point specialty bar ~ the last checkout, when a total of 4 individuals before they took 170K, equivalent to an average of less than RMB25, still very affordable, to Shanghai on not so good. We eat when, on the edge of the table of foreigners come ask rain is Korea. Faint, it is already the third foreigners thought she was Korea, does she really like Korea?

Supper was half past nine, because going to the Bai Sheng also 10 minutes, I expect to go to are closed, so we suggest that you first go to Saigon Center.

We all agree, and I led them to the Center, but Saigon Saigon Center was closed. So we went to a nearby of Saigon Trade Center, but fortunately the Tax here is not closed. Drizzle with 1/f, Shanghai MM to Miss Saigon of perfume counters also bought a bottle of perfume, that is to take back to your friends. See the second floor of the supermarket haven't closed, we went to the second floor of the supermarket to buy some water and ice cream, haven't picked up that supermarket's shutter door already began to drop-down. At the time was Viet Nam time 22: 00, supermarkets have to go off, so I rushed to the checkout.

Because I and rain tomorrow morning leaving Saigon, our journey of Viet Nam is also close to the end, so we no longer wandering, 4 individuals slowly walked back to the Pham Ngu Lao St.

Drizzle also special zone Shanghai MM to De Tham St that selling Shake shop buy cheap and nice drink Shake, also looked at the tailor's shop next to do AoDai. Unfortunately our tomorrow is going to leave, you have no opportunity to wear AoDai. There are points unfortunately is no time to Mekong River walk, the River in China called the Lancang River.
